I have talked withStan about this subject. He suggested I put it on the forum. When the matrix of a game changes the matrix, 5/26 to 5/36; 6/49 to 6/53. Does that change the stats of the databases? My feeling is it does and all draws prior to the change should be eliminated. What is the general feeling about this?

I think it does also CARBOB. If the matrix changed then I would use a random simulated file with real drawings on top until such a time you have at least 200 real drawings then delete the simulated drawings. You could keep both simulated and your old drawing file with the new matrix separate. Just create a new lottery in EL with the simulated and see what happens statistically in each. We had a 6/49 drawing here and people would hit it left and right. I guess with new programs coming out like Expert Lotto people are getting the edge, so they ended it and replaced it with a stupid multi match game where they give you 12 of the 18 numbers you play. Do they see STUPID written on my head.
Good Luck!
